Disney fans were shocked to discover that part of the iconic intro animation was ‘entirely a figment of their imagination’

Being a Disney fan is not a choice, it’s an obligation if you were born between the 80s and 2000s.

After all, all the best classics came out in those twenty years, and the movie’s intro was etched into our skulls from a young age.

But do we remember it correctly?

Come on, let’s backtrack and see where we might have gone wrong, because apparently part of the intro never happened.

So, you had the Disney castle appearing before our favorite animations… that’s a fact.

Remember when Tinker Bell would fly over you to sprinkle pixie dust and mark the “I” in Disney with her wand? Right?

Turns out that part never happened and is another Mandela effect that ruins childhood memories.

What else can we lose?

TikTok users were stunned when they realized this never happened, and we all collectively created some kind of strange pseudo-memory.

One user posted the intro with a voiceover saying, “How is this possible?

“Is Tinkerbell at the beginning of Disney movies?

“That’s not true. As far as we know, it never happened. Disney did not release an intro video where Tinker Bell “dots the i’s” in the word Disney.

“Instead, people are probably combining multiple memories into one.”

What else happened at Disney that never happened?

Disney fans are obviously upset about this situation and have complained in the comments.

One person wrote: “I’m tired of hearing people tell me I remember wrong. Now I remember perfectly.”

Another wrote: “I remember this intro from about 25 years ago. It was on all Disney videos, not CD or Blu-ray… VIDEOS.”

“This happened, I saw this when I was a kid, I’m 35 and I saw this when I was 5… before Google was born,” someone else commented.

Some wrote that they also remembered this intro with a different Tinkerbell.

One user claimed it was just the Peter Pan intro.

However, others agreed that they had never seen an intro with the fairy and that others had imagined it happening.

One person said: “I’ve never seen that intro with Tinkerbell.”

Another wrote: “I don’t remember, it’s obviously a fake. But there’s a picture of a cartoonist where she’s flying around and dotting the i’s, I swear.”

However, one reason we might be wrong could be the “Mandela effect.”

The Mandela effect is a type of false memory that occurs when many different people incorrectly remember the same thing.

According to Medical News Today, memory is suggestive, meaning that what others remember can impact what we remember.

The “Mandela effect” is named after writer and researcher Fiona Broome, who created a website with her memories of Nelson Mandela’s death in prison in the 1980s.

But this did not happen and Mandela became president of South Africa before dying in 2013.

So our memory is unreliable – I get it.
